COMING UP PALM SUNDAY- MAR. 24

This week is Palm Sunday.  We will begin our 9am liturgy outside with the blessing of the palms and a procession around the church.  There will be no church school.  The choir will meet at 8:15.
This year we are using palms purchased from Eco-Palms.  They were harvested from a place and in a way that is environmentally sustainable.  For more information, visit this website www.cinram.umn.edu/ecopalms.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week at St. Thomas' and at churches around the world.  For an explanation of the services during Holy Week, click on the tab at the top of this page. 
There will be services at St. Thomas' on Thursday and Friday evening this week.  We will not have an Easter Vigil this year on Easter Eve.  Our Holy Week schedule is listed below.
